As parents and grandparents, we are always looking to create memories with our families. I can't think of better memories than being in the kitchen creating some tasty treats with my kids. You can easily do the same by picking up a wonderful cookbook and baking cookies all day. Kids love being in the kitchen. If you are not cooking, you can still cuddle up with a warm blanket and hot chocolate to read a good book. Be sure to stop by the Sebastopol branch and check out plenty of books for the entire break, since we will have several closure dates that could affect your reading plans. |
